Instructions

6 steps

1
Place the sauerkraut in a fine-mesh strainer and press firmly to remove as much excess liquid as possible. This prevents a soggy sandwich.

2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly toast the corned beef slices in the dry skillet for 1-2 minutes until warmed through and fragrant, then set aside.
3
Spread 1.5 tbsp of Russian dressing on the unbuttered side of each slice of rye bread.
4
Build the sandwich: On one slice (dressing side up), layer 1 slice of Swiss cheese, the warm corned beef, the drained sauerkraut, and the second slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the other slice of bread (dressing side down).
5
Butter the top and bottom exterior sides of the sandwich evenly.
6
Grill in the skillet over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the rye bread develops a crispy, dark golden crust and the Swiss cheese is entirely melted. Slice in half and serve.
